Max Scheler, Ressentiment - Value Blindness and Delusion - Sadler's Lectures
May 2, 2025
17:38
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on on his discussion about how "value blindness" and "value delusion" figure into the dynamic of ressentiment. In the course of this discussion, Scheler references his earlier work Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values, where he develops these concepts in relation to hierarchies of values.
